Don't get me wrong - Ewing was great. He had a nice jumper on the baseline, he had a great body and worked his ass off, and he played every game like it was game seven. But Duncan is much better than Ewing was. |
How can you call him the "worst player" you ever saw - but then call him "great" in the very next sentence?
Not every player is going to be as graceful as Jordan or as fluid as Olajuwon. For many players, what seperates them from so many others is what they have inside them as much as what they have on the outside.
But most of the great ones have those same attributes you recognized in Ewing.
"worked his ass off, and he played every game like it was game seven".
And just for the record, yes: Duncan > Ewing
